 What we can do on temple street?



You can experience the grassroots life in Hong Kong on Temple Street. This is a famous night market in Hong Kong, and it is also a famous tourist attraction. Temple Street is quite different from day to night. Temple Street during the day is not much different from ordinary neighborhoods. But Temple Street at night will become a night market with its own characteristics. So I would recommend you to explore here first at night.

Every night, there will be groups performing music, but this music is unique, they mainly play some local nostalgic music and even Cantonese opera. You may not know how to appreciate it, but this provides what some older Hong Kongers need, if you know Cantonese, I'm sure you'll be surprised how the lyricist can so vividly integrate life and lyrics into one so that the audience can resonate. This style of music has obvious differences from Western pop music In addition, if you know the music they perform, you can pay a small fee to request to sing on the spot, don’t be ashamed. Many citizens will participate on the spot and implement the practice of having fun with the crowd.



If you prefer to visit quietly, there are many vendors selling different clothes and accessories, and you can slowly search for the souvenirs you are interested in. But like night markets around the world, remember to negotiate with the owner. Although I myself don't know how to negotiate with people, I have heard many people negotiate their favorite things at a reasonable price through negotiation. Moreover, when you can succeed in the negotiation process, that satisfaction can make you add more fun.

In addition, some stalls here will provide customers with some divination-like services. In addition to the tarot cards, there are other divination methods with Chinese characteristics, such as through your birth time and date, which is a bit similar to constellation divination. Some will use copper coins to be shaken in a turtle shell until they fall out, and more often use birds to randomly draw lots, etc. If you have enough time, don’t be afraid to try your luck. That's just for reference. And locals, especially couples, like to ask about their future, or single women want to know when they will meet their partner and information about their partner.



Finally, I must mention the authentic food here. You can enjoy the food on the street. Including: such as fried spicy crab, clay pot rice, spicy wine Dongfeng snail, and so on. A special group of friends chat with each other while enjoying the food, Drink beer while drinking. You must try this unique experience. In fact, not only tourists, many locals like to drink, chat, and enjoy food with friends here.
